Types of Rations - SS2 Agriculture Lesson Note

 

Balanced Ration: This type of diet includes a variety of foods in the right proportions to provide all the essential nutrients the body needs for good health. It typically contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in the correct amounts.

 

Unbalanced Ration: An unbalanced ration lacks proper proportions of essential nutrients. It might be deficient in one or more nutrients or contain too much of others, leading to health issues.
